Vanta makes a difficult process (SOCII Type 2) easier to understand
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta aggregates all necessary controls, policies, documents, etc into a single platform. This in and of itself is helpful as we have a repository and tracker for all of our current SOCII needs & requirements. Vanta's Trust Center has helped us to display that we are in process and will eventually serve as our homepage to share with external partners when asked about compliance. We use Vanta every day as we prepare for our final audit process.
External integrations into our systems has been fairly simple each time we've needed to implement.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the controls, documents and policies are unclear. Assistance in understanding what is "in scope" vs what is "out of scope" would be helpful. Also had some trouble sourcing a pentest provider through the Vanta team. A more thorough outline of onboarding expectations would be helpful as well. We have reached out to our Account Executive a few times with technical questions that were immediately passed off to another department.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta is providing a solution to our team that would otherwise be unable to obtain SOCII Certification on our own. It has saved us numerous hours I'm sure. SOCII Compliance is not for the faint of heart!

Clear and straightforward experience managing the company governance and risk assessment.
What do you like best about the product?
It's an uncomplicated experience that helps us grasp the needs of business owners, areas that demand our attention, and where we can enhance our governance and risk management. I use it on a monthly basis to understand what areas require my attention and also to manage the user's assiduity and the company's inventory.
I can share an opinion on customer support, since I've never used it, but the FAQ session is farily complete and made it easy for me to solve a problem.
I wasn't involved in the implementation or any of the technical integrations, but once the framework has been written, the responsibilities can be easily adjusted.

What do you dislike about the product?
The tool's amount of information and complexity might overwhelm first-time users, but it's fairly simple to navigate and understand how to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assisting us in managing our SOC2 assessment.
Vanta has been a game-changer for managing and maturing our security posture.
What do you like best about the product?
The sales process was quick and straightforward, especially with the ability to demo my instance and get a hands-on understanding of what Vanta can and can't do. For startups, it makes maintaining a high level of security manageable with a small team and scales as we grow. The tool is user-friendly, and honestly, after completing our SOC 2 Type I, I wish we had started with Vanta from the beginning. Their connections with PEN test providers and auditors were also a valuable resource.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can see how costs will add up quickly as we implement additional policies. Some features, like the security questionnaires, should be included in the base package, which would make the purchase an easy decision. While they offer plenty of training resources, as a startup, having a dedicated CSM for a thorough onboarding would have been beneficial—our kickoff was only 15 minutes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enabling us to build trust with our prospects while securely protecting our data.
Vanta is a fantastic platform for organizing multiple security frameworks and accelerating timelines
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta provides numerous automatic controls that significantly reduce the time required to show compliance with security requirements. It is also serves as a central repository for security documents. It makes security audits considerably easier, saving both time and money. Vanta also allows you to view how many controls are already met in additional security frameworks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Each security framework is sold as an additional module. so it can add up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta helps automate controls and serves as a central repopsitory for documents.

SOC 2 Type 1
Vanta is an invaluable tool for achieving compliance for small companies
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta distills the rather daunting task of compliance into a manageable set of controls with automated tracking, templates, and reminders. For a 10 person company, compliance appeared to be a difficult task, but Vanta helped us achieve and maintain SOC 2 compliance without too much trouble.
What do you dislike about the product?
Working with a third party auditor, while necessary, was frustrating at times due to their lack of understanding how Vanta worked or mismatched assumptions on how the audit process worked. We occasionally ran into instances where we'd disabled controls or added evicdence to a particular control that the auditor couldn't see or understand, leading to long email exchanges.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our customers desire that we maintain SOC 2 compliance for our SaaS application. Vanta helped us achieve and maintain that compliance.
We use Vanta to manage all our compliance needs and we are more than happy
What do you like best about the product?
Vanta makes the process of achieving and maintaining compliance feel much more manageable. The platform automates a lot of the tedious tasks, like tracking employee training or monitoring security settings, which frees up time for more critical work. I really appreciate how simpler the interface is. Also, the integration capabilities are also a big plus, as it seamlessly connects with other tools we already use, like a third party MDM or pentesting platforms, making the whole process smoother and comply with a lot of checks. On top of that, their team helped us find an audit firm to obtainthe certifications; the entire process was super simple and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup can be a bit overwhelming, especially for smaller teams without a dedicated compliance expert. It would be great if there were more guided walkthroughs or simpler explanations for those who are new to the compliance landscape. Also, the pricing might be a bit steep for startups or smaller companies, which could make it less accessible for everyone who could benefit from it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We helped us to get some certifications with ease.
Helped me close a deal
What do you like best about the product?
I love how it automates all the compliance tasks I used to do by hand. It's such a time-saver! It really easy to hook up all integrations and get going with the SOC 2 program.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is a bit steep for smaller companies. I wish they had a more affordable option for startups just getting started with compliance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Vanta's handling all the SOC 2 compliance stuff we used to struggle with. It's freed up so much of our time - now we can focus on actually running our business instead of drowning in paperwork.
